Vivek Subbiah, Chief of Early-Phase Drug Development at the Sarah Cannon Research Institute (USA), shared a post on X:
“By popular demand, I’m pleased to share the top Phase 1 clinical trial publications of 2024!
These papers highlight the incredible bench to bedside progress and innovation in early-phase drug development.
I invite you to join the conversation by adding your favorite early phase papers to this X.
Together, let’s celebrate these significant advances in our field and look forward to groundbreaking developments in drug discovery in 2025!
1. Inhibition of lysine acetyltransferase KAT6 in ER+HER2− metastatic breast cancer: a phase 1 trial.
Epigenetic targeting in solid tumors finally successful!
HDAC inhibitors have shown limited success before in the treatment of solid tumors owing to a lack of cancer specificity or satisfactory therapeutic window. KAT6 works!!!
Inhibition of lysine acetyltransferase KAT6 in ER+HER2− metastatic breast cancer: a phase 1 trial.
Authors: Toru Mukohara, Yeon Hee Park, David Sommerhalder, Kan Yonemori, Erika Hamilton, Sung-Bae Kim, Jee Hyun Kim, Hiroji Iwata, Toshinari Yamashita, Rachel M. Layman, Monica Mita, Timothy Clay, Yee Soo Chae, Catherine Oakman, Fengting Yan, Gun Min Kim, Seock-Ah Im, Geoffrey J. Lindeman, Hope S.

2. Results From First-in-Human Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of a Novel Bicycle Toxin Conjugate Targeting EphA2 (BT5528) in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors.
BT5528 is a Bicycle Toxin Conjugate, a novel class of chemically synthesized molecules, comprising a bicyclic peptide targeting EphA2 tumor antigen, linked to a cytotoxin (monomethyl auristatin E [MMAE]).
EphA2 is overexpressed in many solid tumors and contributes to oncogenesis, tumor-associated angiogenesis, and metastasis.

4. MYC targeting by OMO-103 in solid tumors: a phase 1 trial.
MYC remained an elusive target in cancer biology for decades.
First successful phase 1 clinical trial validating the safety and tolerability of a first-in-modality direct MYC inhibitor.
MYC targeting by OMO-103 in solid tumors: a phase 1 trial.
